[0:00] Heather Bedor: Welcome back to The Broadway Fan Club! I'm Heather.

[0:05] Chris: And I'm Chris!

[0:07] Marc: And I'm Marc!

[0:09] Heather Bedor: Today, we’re diving into all things Broadway, celebrating Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Love.

[0:15] Chris: We have so much to catch up on, and you definitely don’t want to miss a minute of it!

[0:20] Marc: Absolutely! There’s been a lot happening in the Broadway world lately.

[0:25] Heather Bedor: Yes, and we’re here to share our thoughts and insights on the latest shows, news, and everything in between.

[0:35] Chris: So, let’s get started! What’s been on everyone’s mind?

[0:40] Marc: I think we should talk about the recent openings. There’s been some buzz around a few new productions.

[0:45] Heather Bedor: For sure! I’ve heard great things about the new revival of "Cabaret."

[0:50] Chris: Oh, I can’t wait to see it! The energy of that show is just incredible.

[0:55] Marc: And the cast is phenomenal! I mean, the talent on Broadway right now is just out of this world.

[1:05] Heather Bedor: It really is! And speaking of talent, did you guys catch the latest Tony nominations?

[1:10] Chris: Yes! There were some surprises, for sure.

[1:15] Marc: I was thrilled to see some of my favorites recognized. It’s always exciting to see who gets nominated.

[1:20] Heather Bedor: Definitely! And it’s such a great way to celebrate the hard work of everyone involved in the productions.

[1:30] Chris: Speaking of celebrations, I think we should also talk about the upcoming Broadway events.

[1:35] Marc: Yes! There are so many exciting things happening this season.

[1:40] Heather Bedor: From special performances to fan meet-ups, it’s a great time to be a Broadway fan.

[1:45] Chris: And we’ll be there to cover it all!

[1:50] Marc: Absolutely! We love connecting with fellow fans and sharing those experiences.

[1:55] Heather Bedor: So, what else is on the agenda for today’s episode?

[2:00] Chris: I think we should dive into some of our favorite moments from the past year.

[2:05] Marc: Yes! Let’s reminisce about the shows that left a lasting impression on us.

[2:10] Heather Bedor: I love that idea! There’s so much to reflect on.

[2:15] Chris: And it’s always fun to hear what other fans loved as well.

[2:20] Marc: For sure! So, let’s get into it!

[2:25] Heather Bedor: Alright, let’s kick things off with our top picks!

[2:30] Chris: I’ll start! One of my favorite moments was from "Moulin Rouge!"

[2:35] Marc: Oh, that show is a spectacle! What stood out to you?

[2:40] Chris: The choreography was just breathtaking. It really brought the story to life.

[2:45] Heather Bedor: I agree! The energy in that theater is electric.

[2:50] Marc: And the music! It’s such a fantastic score.

[2:55] Chris: Exactly! It’s a perfect blend of classic and contemporary.

[3:00] Heather Bedor: What about you, Marc? What was a standout moment for you?

[3:05] Marc: I have to say, "Hadestown" really took me by surprise.

[3:10] Chris: That show is so beautifully crafted.

[3:15] Marc: The storytelling is just phenomenal, and the performances are top-notch.

[3:20] Heather Bedor: It’s such a unique take on a classic myth.

[3:25] Chris: And the music is hauntingly beautiful.

[3:30] Marc: Absolutely! It’s one of those shows that stays with you long after you leave the theater.

[3:35] Heather Bedor: I love that!

[3:40] Chris: So many great moments to choose from this year.

[3:45] Marc: And we still have so much more to look forward to!

[3:50] Heather Bedor: Yes! Let’s keep the conversation going.

[3:55] Chris: We want to hear from our listeners too! What were your favorite moments?

[4:00] Marc: Share with us on social media!

[4:05] Heather Bedor: We love connecting with all of you!

[4:10] Chris: And don’t forget to subscribe for more Broadway magic!

[4:15] Marc: Until next time, keep the love for Broadway alive!

[4:20] Heather Bedor: Bye everyone!

[4:25] Chris: Bye!

[4:30] Marc: Bye!

[13:53] Chris Levy: It's all there, yeah. She designed that. She designed the revival of Mystery Edwin Drood, which I have some of her designs for. She did the Cinderella Broadway 2013 show. So, so much more. In the Heights, the original set for In the Heights, she designed. Yeah, so that's another big loss.

[14:16] Marc: Yeah, I mean, I will always say, you know, I had to unfriend a lot of people because a lot of people were getting very political on my socials and in the groups. It's always sad when someone passes. Always. And it's about what they did and how they helped our world. You know, I never mourn someone's death. Like, obviously, it's very sad. But I essentially take a page from Glee when Corey Monteith had passed away. And essentially, it's like, I don't want to mourn the one moment in his life or in their life where they're gone. I want to remember and celebrate the entire life that I had with them and how lucky I am to be able to be in this time period where these people existed. And we are very fortunate to have lived in the time of Tim Curry, Dolly, like, like everybody. And it's so incredible. So I always celebrate the time that we've had with them, for sure.

[15:22] Heather Bedor: What are people getting political about?

[15:25] Marc: Wishing death on certain political leaders.

[15:28] Chris Levy: Oh, yeah.

[15:30] Marc: Or making it about, you know, the wrong people are dying type thing. That kind of stupid stuff. But also, and I mean, very political in the groups, too. And we don't stand for that. Like, just let it be, because we have every kind of demographic. And people were just taking it out of the wrong people. Somebody posted a tattoo in a Rocky group, and it was quite nice. But a lot of people are like, ooh, you should have gone to a different artist. No, we don't talk to people like that. That's not okay. It's just, it's internet trolls. We don't stand for it.

[16:01] Chris Levy: You know, for those that are listening and have, you know, have no clue what I'm talking about. The Broadway Fan Club, we are the world's largest group of fan communities on social media. In fact, something fun that I don't think I've shared with either of you, Chris or Marc, is we are now part of Metta's inner sanctum as an admin. They have a focus group of admins that are succeeding quite well on Metta. And with the work that we've done with their groups, we've now been invited as a Broadway Fan Club to participate in the admin council. So some really cool, exciting beta testing and all sorts of fun stuff like that is going to be coming down the pike. But if you are looking to join a fan community, go on Facebook.

You can look up the Broadway Fan Club as our page, our group. We run 107 different fan groups, plus our podcast right here. So you will get very tired of seeing my face or Chris's face or Marc's face. But we're here to help and we're here to build a community.

[17:06] Heather Bedor: Marc, for people who live under a rock and don't know who you are, do you want to give people insight?

[17:13] Marc: I'm sure. It's a very big rock. A lot of people I'm sure don't know who I am. I'm a guy who has a camera and an upload to YouTube button. No, I have a YouTube channel called Broadway by Ghostlight where I have a bi-weekly. Does bi-weekly mean twice a week or does it mean every other week?

[17:39] Chris Levy: Bi-weekly, yeah.

[17:42] Marc: Bi-weekly is every other week.

[17:45] Chris Levy: Semi-weekly would be two times a week.

[17:52] Marc: So it's a bi-weekly Broadway trivia game show, Broadway Jeopardy. This week is a Jeopardy week so there will be an episode on Friday. Don't yell at me this time. I'm sorry. And I do other deep dives into older musicals and there's a lot of Schmigadoon content. If you're a Schmigadoon fan, lots of videos on Schmigadoon, the TV show mostly. Although I was requested to do an album breakdown so I might be working on that soon.

[18:24] Chris Levy: And speaking of Schmigadoon album, Christopher.

[18:28] Marc: Oh, I brought a little show and tell. It's the real thing. I haven't even unwrapped it yet. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful design. It's a gorgeous sounding recording. That's so damn good. They really did a great job.

[18:46] Chris Levy: I'm just excited that when I'm up in a couple of weeks I get to see the September Elle Davis Apology Tour.

[18:52] Marc: Oh boy.

[18:54] Chris Levy: Oh, I am beyond excited. She's so funny.

[18:59] Marc: Oh my gosh, they are one of the kindest people I've ever encountered. Yeah, when I saw the show last, I mean she always is amazing in it, but she, you would have thought that that was her final performance. She, as I said on my Instagram post, gave her whole Mildrissi into that performance.

[19:16] Chris Levy: Oh, absolutely. I mean, it was astounding.

[19:20] Marc: How do we think Jennifer Samard's going to be coming in?

[19:23] Chris Levy: Brilliant. I mean, perfect.

[19:25] Marc: She's perfect.

[19:27] Chris Levy: Yeah, 100%. I'm just excited for it to happen.

[19:30] Marc: Yeah. But yes, and you'll be seeing lots more anytime we can get Marc on the show. Marc is like the unofficial third chair.

[19:35] Chris Levy: Until he's ready to be the third chair or whatever.

[19:41] Marc: Yeah, well the songs for, someone's asking, Matt, will the songs written for season three of Schmigadoon ever be recorded?

[19:48] Chris Levy: Very possibly. I've spoken with Cinco many times and...

[19:53] Marc: Oh, excuse me, we're on a first name basis?

[19:56] Chris Levy: I mean, I try not to be that guy, but I feel like Cinco and I are, Mr. Paul and I are friends, you know. Because we all know Gavin so intimately that we can call him Gavin.

[20:11] Marc: Right. But Cinco, yeah, what probably will happen is sometime there'll be like a benefit concert version of season three. That would be my guess. And then what happens after that, we're not sure. Sadly, even though it's won best musical and is getting a whole new life, I don't see it getting picked up for proper season three.

[20:39] Chris Levy: No, unless they do like a limited release.

[20:44] Marc: Okay, we petitioned and we got the Jellicle Volcast album. Change.org. You know, Apple TV Plus, there was a petition when it got cancelled.

[20:56] Chris Levy: There sure as hell was, and then all of a sudden was the work shopping and everything else and people shut up and now we're back to complaining and being cranky.

[21:07] Marc: Yeah, so yeah, I'm sure there will be some way season three will come about, but...

[21:14] Chris Levy: Yeah.

[21:16] Marc: Yeah.

[21:17] Chris Levy: That'll be interesting.

[21:18] Marc: Into the schmoods.

[21:19] Chris Levy: Into the schmoods. I would have loved to have seen Schmantum. Like, come on.

[21:24] Marc: Yeah, they got a little nod to it. They always sort of make nods to the future season at the end of the seasons.

[21:29] Chris Levy: Yes! And so there was a bit of phantom at the end of season two.

[21:37] Marc: Yeah. I also, I teach for an online community called the Broadway Maven and doing a class on Wicked coming up and Mean Girls, but I am doing a class on Schmacago on season two of Schmigadoon.

[21:51] Chris Levy: Nice.

[21:52] Marc: Coming up as well.

[21:53] Chris Levy: Very nice.

[21:55] Marc: Alright, we talked about your cane.

[21:58] Chris Levy: Yes. You want other props?

[22:00] Marc: I think we're going to have an unofficial props corner right now. How do you feel about that? How do you boys feel about that?

[22:07] Chris Levy: I'm prepared.

[22:08] Marc: I have a prop and I have a piece of advertising.

[22:11] Chris Levy: Oh.

[22:12] Marc: Which do you want first?

[22:14] Chris Levy: Oh, the prop.

[22:18] Marc: The prop. Let me see if I can get it out of its little case here. I don't think I can.

[22:25] Chris Levy: Call on Dolly Gallagher Levi.

[22:29] Marc: This is one of... Hold on, I'm going to zoom in here. Alright, hold on. This is one of Bette Midler's calling cards she would hand out to people in the beginning.

[22:40] Chris Levy: Love that.

[22:42] Marc: It's flattened out now, but I was told you could tell it was Bette Midler's because she had sort of dog-eared one corner. And she did that so that she could grab one easily and wouldn't pull multiple out at a time.

[22:55] Chris Levy: Interesting.

[22:56] Marc: Nothing on the back. There's unfortunately, you know, they couldn't say all the different things. But that is one of Dolly's from that revival.

[23:04] Chris Levy: Love that.

[23:06] Marc: Absolutely love that. Oh, Matt wants to know will the songs... Oh, yeah. I must have apparently not read that. Just kidding. My chat is slow. Sorry. You got your answer, Matt. You're welcome. Go on.

[23:22] Marc: And then the piece of advertising I'm holding is 105 years old.

[23:30] Chris Levy: Oh.

[23:31] Marc: So this is for the original 1921... Hold on closer.

[23:35] Chris Levy: Thank you.

[23:36] Marc: ...Shuffle Along.

[23:37] Chris Levy: Wow, and it looks brand new.

[23:39] Marc: It does. Yeah, so it's celebrating one year in New York, and on the back, it's a game where you try to get the dice.

[23:49] Chris Levy: That's cool.

[23:50] Marc: Yeah, you can see the balls little...

[23:52] Chris Levy: Yeah.

[23:53] Marc: ...on the bottom.

[23:54] Chris Levy: Why are we looking at the balls? Is it always the balls?

[23:56] Marc: You always got to look at the balls. That's just how it goes.

[24:02] Chris Levy: So anyway, yeah, so that is from 19... I guess this would have been 21, 22, yeah, but it's over 100 years old. And a little advertising game.

[24:10] Chris Levy: That is really cool.

[24:14] Marc: I have to literally walk to where my stuff is hiding on the corner, so do you want to share one more thing, or do you want Chris to share something?

[24:24] Chris Levy: No, Chris. I think that's all I pulled.

[24:28] Marc: Chris, you ready to share something fun? Alright, it's your turn.

[24:32] Chris Levy: Okay, yeah, so my easy one is that I pulled this down off the shelf.

[24:37] Marc: Yes. Is that a numbered one?

[24:40] Chris Levy: It is. It is number 206 of 1,000.

[24:45] Marc: Wow, so that is an original first printing.

[24:48] Chris Levy: Yeah.

[24:49] Marc: And a low number, too. I remember when those came out.

[24:53] Chris Levy: Oh, I jumped immediately. Now, the selfish reason is because I thought someday I'm going to play man in chair, and I'm going to need a drowsy chaperone album for a prop, and if I have my own prop, they'll cast me. That said, I've had it, what, 20 years now, and it is still sealed and unopened.

[25:12] Marc: Amazing.

[25:13] Chris Levy: Now it never gets opened.

[25:14] Marc: I'll have to check mine. You might have a lower number than me.

[25:17] Chris Levy: I can't remember what my number is, but yeah, I remember when those came out. When those came out, that was a big deal.

[25:23] Marc: That sounds like a challenge.

[25:26] Chris Levy: No, be happy for your friends.

[25:29] Marc: Yes, absolutely. I will be insanely jealous and happy.

[25:34] Chris Levy: I mean, I need little wins.

[25:37] Marc: Little wins.

[25:39] Chris Levy: About 30 years ago or so, when we worked in the Branson, Missouri area, Shirley Jones came through and did a show somewhere in Branson. They did these one-off things. I got to see Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca.

[25:54] Marc: In what?

[26:00] Chris Levy: In selections from your show of shows.

[26:04] Marc: Oh, wow.

[26:06] Chris Levy: I mean, at this point, Imogene, they had handlers, because every time she exited, she almost walked off the stage. So they would gently lead her back. And I brought cast albums. So I got Sid to sign my Little Me album.

[26:20] Marc: Shut up.

[26:21] Chris Levy: And I had On the 20th Century. And Imogene goes, oh, I can't. I'm like, I don't want to write on your pretty record album. And I'm like, write on it now. Do it. And write Repent.

[26:35] Marc: Yes.

[26:37] Chris Levy: So anyway, Shirley Jones was in Branson. And my husband was the bass player for the band they put together. And I said, take this. And I gave him my Maggie Flynn album and asked her to sign it, which tickled her to no end. She's like, oh, my God, where did you get this? I always expect the Partridge family. Ten years later, a friend of mine in Kansas City is music directing an evening with Shirley Jones. He cannot find music for Maggie Flynn anywhere. And I said, oh, Dan, here you go. And I sent him a file that I don't know where it came from. It magically appeared in my Dropbox one day. And as a thank you, he sent me this.

[27:23] Marc: Oh, my God.

[27:27] Chris Levy: Now I have two Shirley Jones signed things for Maggie Flynn. I don't know where the album is. It's in my garage somewhere where it's been for the last 12 years. But I have it somewhere.

[27:44] Chris: In that pile of safe things that you put away safely so they wouldn't have that, I have an original playbill from Showboat from a hundred years ago.

[27:55] Marc: Wow. How? Does it have the insert?

[27:58] Chris: I don't even remember. This was, I got this 40 years ago when, Mark, you'll remember, the John McGlynn 3Disc. Yeah, the 88 3Disc. I was obsessed with it, and somebody found the playbill in a bookshop somewhere and said, oh, Chris would love this. And of course, I do.

[28:19] Marc: That's amazing. I don't have an original Showboat playbill, but I do have, in the beginning of the run, Ziegfeld would have inserts that were broadsides that were supposed to be the program for Parsons Bride, the show within the show. So I have that up somewhere. I'll have to bring that next week.

[28:39] Chris: I don't think I have that. I think this is just, because remember, playbill used to be bigger and kind of printed on different paper.

[28:44] Marc: Absolutely. Wow. Yeah, and that's almost a hundred years old. It's 1927, so yeah. I brought some newer stuff. I guess I'll put my spotlight on my very tired face. Hello. So we were talking about this last week. This. It's a watch.

[29:08] Chris: It's the watch. It's the watch. It's the crazy watch that you can really never tell time unless you know how to actually tell time without looking at anything different. What is, I can't figure out the design. I think I have it upside down. That's why. Do I have it upside down? Do you think you had it upside down?

[29:26] Marc: No, this should be the right side. No? Unless every, this is Monty Python's Mamelot.

[29:34] Chris: Oh, okay. Okay, I know it's like this lighting is terrible. I feel like one of those, like, let me show this. It is upside down, but if you get too close, it won't focus properly.

[29:47] Marc: I see it now. Yep, so we've got the watch, and then. We were watching videos the other night because of Tim Curry. Our lady, Hannah Waddingham, performing with him in the London cast.

[30:02] Chris: I don't know if you can see this. Joseph Cohen.

[30:09] Marc: Oh.

[30:15] Chris: The music box. If it played Masquerade, I was gonna laugh. No, that would have been very cool. But, speaking of Masquerade. Good one. All right, we'll let that play off in the distance. This is one of my favorite finds. Remember, we were talking about Flea? Yes. This is Michael Crawford. This is a picture of gorgeous Ruthie, too. And these little, I don't know if you can still hear Joseph playing in the background, all the little confetti. This is from Michael Crawford's last show.

[30:42] Marc: Oh, wow.

[30:48] Chris: And then, I told you, I have like a box just sitting here just waiting to be shown off. Very fortunate to be gifted these. I love this because it's one of my underrated shows. All right, Joseph, thank you so much. I don't know if you guys can see this. Guys and Dolls.

[31:02] Marc: Oh, the 09 Guys and Dolls. But wait, there's more.

[31:05] Chris: It's loaded dice.

[31:06] Marc: Oh, that's cool.

[31:12] Chris: And they're metal. Like, I don't want to do like an ASMR. They're metal. I saw that 09 Guys and Dolls. I have one more. I had to bring all the cute little stuff. Actually, I have two more, but I'll just show off the one. We should have this every week.

[31:23] Marc: I think we should because I'm already making a list. Oh, I should grab that. I should grab that. John Lithgow doesn't watch this, right? No, not yet. Because we have his opening night jacket from, what was it, the Moscow View from the Retreat from Moscow.

[31:34] Chris: Nice. So this, I was given this. 10th anniversary.

[31:45] Marc: 10th anniversary. I don't know if you can see. Symbol, yes. Slytherin, yeah. Hold on. Yeah, Slytherin, right? I hate that this, hold on, let me see if I turn this light off. There we go. Thank you for 10 wonderful years. Beth Wickers.

[32:07] Chris: That's funny. But it's a full crystal paperweight.

[32:18] Marc: Yeah, with the new art.

[32:30] Chris: I have a lot of Wicked Anniversary stuff. A lot. And then this was recently gifted to me. Nice. So this one was from, it just says, the weight is worth, the weight is worth the wait. Thank you for your continued support. Waiting for Godot. Nice. So I don't put anything in it, it just sits next to me.

[32:42] Marc: But. To get like a large plastic bin and start trying to regather all the prop and merch things that I have. I have so many bins of just promo stuff and merch.

[33:00] Chris: Yeah, well, yeah, my entire apartment is Broadway.

[33:10] Marc: Yeah. And Disney and the Haunted Mansion. Because it happens.

[33:15] Chris: It happens. It does happen. Do you have anything else fun around me that I can grab and eat?

[33:21] Marc: I picked this up. Let me see, hold on. Let me take myself off the spotlight here. From the tour.

[33:31] Chris: Oh yeah? Well, hold on. I think that's the only.

[33:42] Marc: Oh, what's that from? You do not know about this? No. This is the mask from Life and Trust.

[33:48] Chris: From what?

[33:53] Marc: Life and Trust. The very short-lived immersive show.

[33:59] Chris: Oh, I thought Life and Trust was like a bank and you opened an account.

[34:06] Marc: It's a bank for souls. Yes, correct. No, I don't know that show at all, but that's a really fun.

[34:12] Chris: Oh, it was so cool. And going to Conwell Coffee was so freaking cool. But yeah, this was the mask instead of like, I mean, I obviously have like my, you know, sleep no more mask, but this was the Life and Trust mask. And it's, it's solid. You know, I never saw sleep no more.

[34:21] Marc: I never saw.

[34:28] Chris: I have friends who literally made special trips up to New York and would see it every day while they were there.

[34:35] Marc: Oh yeah.

[34:40] Chris: Yeah. I mean, it was so expensive for so long.

[34:47] Marc: Oh, well, yeah. And then it, I was like, oh, I've got time. And then it was closing and then couldn't get a ticket because it was closing.

[34:52] Chris: Yeah, that's a thing.

[34:56] Marc: That is a thing. I did the opening night party for the 2012 Porgy and Bess revival I did merch for was at the Sleep No More place. So I did explore the actual place a little bit, but not like in, you know, there wasn't any performers.

[35:06] Chris: Sure. Sure. My mother's texting me like she doesn't realize I have the podcast. Super fun. Um, you know, we're talking about decorating and, you know, getting everything done. And I don't think that I've had the opportunity to mention our new sponsor yet.

[35:16] Marc: No, you've not.

[35:21] Chris: And I'm waiting for my package to come in to really show them off. But we are now are we are now partnered with Act One Frames.

[35:29] Marc: I was going to guess Act One Frames.

[35:36] Chris: I really I really was. I was like, is it Act One Frames? But that's so funny. I love I'm not connected to them at all. But I well now you are the look of their brains. I'm obsessed. Hold on. Let me let me show the rest of the audience here. If I can figure out how to share my screen now. I'm I'm eventually gonna figure out Evie Mux. Here we go. Share screen. Let me show you guys. I am freaking obsessed. Can you see this yet?

[36:01] Marc: Maybe you need to put them on stage.

[36:09] Chris: Thank you very much. Look at this. Go teamwork. Go. Yes. The right. I mean, they're all beautiful, but that red. Thank you. Obsessed. And so they're specifically designed for playbills. So it's eight and a half by 11 and has a mat. You can put it on the wall tabletop. Right now they're coming in this gorgeous red, which I will have the red and black. This gorgeous red will have this lovely brown and then the black. But the theater inspired the coolest thing, especially living in Florida, but kind of everywhere. UV protected, shatter resistant acrylic. And I think they're so beautiful because I've been looking for a way to be able to share and have kind of on like a nice display. What what shows I've been to because like everybody else is going to Dollar Tree, which is great.

But like these are to be protected. And I will be posting this up on our website, WWW dot the Broadway Fan Club. But I will also put it at the end of our show tonight for anybody who is ordering through their website. There is a promotional code you will get 10% off and it's specifically for our listeners and our followers. Only our listeners and followers. So if you know somebody that wants these, I'll put it up now it's t b f c like the Broadway Fan Club 10 a one f. So let me put that up now so you guys can see that. But if you were listening again, it is T like the Broadway Fan Club.

[37:31] Marc: Oh, that was fun. My screen is doing something real weird.

[37:38] Chris: That's cute. It's the one zero a so like 10 a one f. So I'll say I've been following them since before they launched and I have seen no discount codes being offered anywhere. So that's amazing.

[37:56] Marc: Yep. And something that's also really exciting is that we are going to be doing a giveaway. So every month for the next three months we will be doing a giveaway for two frames. So we will be releasing more information later this week on that. Mark obviously if you want to bring your Broadway ghost light people into that, they're more than welcome to because clearly you're here to stay. You're not leaving us. But really guys act one frame so you can follow them on socials on Instagram. It's the easiest way literally a c t one f r a m e s. Follow them tell them you found them through us. And you'll get that 10% off with again the promo code tbfc one zero a one f. I'm excited. Hopefully by next week you guys will see behind my wall we'll have these gorgeous frames.

[38:45] Heather: Yeah, I'm looking at their site.

[38:53] Marc: Yeah. And I don't see how to buy them there. Everything says shop on Amazon.

[38:59] Chris: It will go right to the Amazon website. Yep. Yep. So if you go to our shop, I think if you go to shop now, there's a if you go if you guys scroll down, let me see if I can go back to share my screen. Stand by everybody. I'm learning our new studio here. No time like the present. Alright, so Chris, if you're seeing it, so you see where it says our shop. And then it says theater inspired display frames shop now that should take you right over.

[39:28] Marc: Well, there's a button that says shop on Amazon.

[39:32] Chris: Okay, then you can buy shop on Amazon code in. Understanding it should be right here. So I just kind of clicked on the frame itself. And then add to cart so you'd be able to put it in once you add to cart.

[39:47] Marc: Cool.

[39:56] Chris: And we will get very testing this in the interest of science and the interest of science. I guess you're gonna get that mezzanine brown, huh?

[40:00] Marc: You know, I first thought it was gold. I thought it was Hamilton gold.

[40:03] Chris: Oh, I've seen it more closely. I'm thinking because the oldest, the two oldest signed playbills I have are Sunday in the park. And me and my girl both signed by Marianne Plunkett, because we share an alma mater.

[40:18] Marc: Well, and Maggie Flynn.

[40:24] Chris: And yes, and now I have that. So I'm trying to think, okay, me and my girl. I think I have a black and white cover playbill. It was far enough after opening. It was New Year's Eve 1986. There's a story. And Sunday in the park still had a color photo. I have a signed opening night playbill from Kinky Boots that was a gift from one of the cast members. There's another story. I'll save these so we don't run all of them out all in one week. That'll be show and tell for the future.

[41:04] Marc: I don't think I have any really old playbills, because I don't think I understood the meaning of them until I was an adult.

[41:09] Chris: I have bags and stacks and boxes. But I don't know. But I will say my friends just to celebrate my friend Caitlin's birthday, her and her husband, Sean, went into the city just for one night to go see the Lost Boys. And they bravely hit the stage door and did pretty well.

[41:26] Marc: Wow. Yeah. But they also posted their pictures in our Facebook group and got out in the public space, at the center and there was a lot of growth.

[41:37] Heather Bedor: The post-credits scene there, Mark. Gotcha. The very final moments of the show, correct?

[41:45] Chris: Yes, enough said, but what was happening is this entire row of people were standing up. So now your sight lines are messed up if you're behind them, you're looking at someone's butt and they were running with all the noise and the chaos and the confusion. I'm running to be at the stage door to be there to... for, and they're there four or five times a week, which is great for ticket sales, but for people who are trying to rush the seats, etc. So now just like Olivia just mentioned, now the rush seats, as rush seats added as of this week, are no longer in the front row.

[42:30] Marc: And so there has been a huge debate. Well, now the tickets are less desirable because they don't have their front rush, you know, front row rush. In this world that we live in, I have no problem rushing. I wanted to rush Music Man to see Sutton and Hugh. I didn't get the opportunity to because it was like people were getting there at 5:30 in the morning and I thought that was crazy.

[42:54] Chris: And it's like, can the theater do something? Not really. It's public sidewalk and you're there first-come, first-served for the rush. But I kind of want to know what you guys think about it because one, I don't think it's ever appropriate that while the show is still happening for you to get up and rush to the stage door.

[43:15] Heather Bedor: I agree.

[43:16] Chris: Yeah, I thought you said I do. It's like, what if it's a standing ovation and everyone's standing up out of their seats and you are gonna meet a friend or whatever, or you don't like crowds? That's a big thing for me. If I'm not in the middle of an aisle or in the middle of a row and I'm on an aisle seat, I'm standing ovations. I am slowly making my way past people because everyone's already standing and I need to get out of there before I feel bombarded like the running of the bulls. It's not necessarily to get to the stage door, but people are being very combative in the groups and all over social media. People are losing their shit.

[43:58] Marc: Losing their shit. What do you guys think? They can't get in the front row anymore. Not only are they upset they can't get the front row.

[44:06] Chris: Well, there's the... we can't get the front row. Oh, this is gonna change the rush forever, which I kind of think is that little... like the producers may have... and I think the producers went, the front rows are really good seats, we should be selling these.

[44:22] Heather Bedor: We've all seen the show. I am a center orchestra girl, but I will tell you I highly enjoyed my seats in the mezzanine.

[44:30] Chris: Oh, yeah, right. Orchestra row LK.

[44:32] Heather Bedor: Yeah, you were pretty far back.

[44:34] Chris: But I didn't feel far back.

[44:36] Heather Bedor: No, I thought it was fine. I missed three things. You told me what the three things were. I missed the George Michael joke, spoilers.

[44:43] Chris: The very... when the first person enters at the very top of the show.

[44:47] Heather Bedor: Yeah, it took a while, but I knew, oh, I can tell what's going on. He's just not visible yet. There was one other thing, I don't know, but it didn't ruin the show for me.

[44:56] Chris: No, um, it comes down to stage door etiquette. Like as we've all said, stage door is not a guarantee. It's literally people are taking their own time. People are losing their minds, you know. Jeffrey says that's why actors should sign playbills or people for people not in front of other people, but I personally, I do business at the stage door just like we all do, but I... before this became my career, I enjoyed being able to thank a performer for being there and like show my appreciation and like, wow, you're amazing. I'm not a selfie girl. I don't care about autographs. The only time I'll get a playbill signed is for our members as a giveaway or for a friend who's looking for that. I don't care about it. I do it just to kind of show my appreciation. It's like tipping a server.

[46:05] Heather Bedor: Oh, hold on, I'm looking at our comments. So, oh, DJ M said I read that it is becoming a safety issue of people waiting in line that early in the morning.

[46:13] Chris: I strongly believe that that's it, but that's happening at all the rush now. If you guys remember, the Outsiders rush was like four o'clock in the morning too. It's the same group of people.

[46:22] Marc: Yeah, I mean any show, any show with an in-demand star or, you know, a show that's super popular like Lost Boys, people are gonna wait. I mean, I don't think that's the responsibility of the theater.

[46:31] Heather Bedor: No, I agree. But at what point should I see it? Do you think a theater or a show should step in and say, two o'clock or one o'clock in the morning for you guys to be out here for ten hours in the middle of Midtown, Manhattan?

[46:44] Chris: Like when I was in town helping out with Janice, Jan, who was that June? Literally didn't even know about it, but there had been a shooting in the middle of Midtown. Somebody had been killed an hour before I went to go walk for pizza. It's not safe. And then of course you're gonna get into the winter months and it's freezing. What happens?

[47:02] Marc: Yeah, I mean no memory of Rent. I can tell...

[47:05] Chris: Oh, friends. I mean, that was $20 front row, but that was a lottery.

[47:09] Marc: Yes, it was a rush and they turned it into a lottery because for so long people were literally sleep... they would get there when the show closed. They would get out of the show and go right online, go right and camp in line and stay there all night in the dead of winter with quilts and blankets and it just... it was such a health hazard. That's why Rent invented the lottery.

[47:32] Heather Bedor: Right. Now here's the thing. We'll talk about lottery. I loved an in-person lottery. Loved it. I remember one of the very first lotteries I ever did in person and my friend Shauna, I'm sure she'll hear this again or she's watching now, she was like my Broadway guru showing me the ropes. The first lottery we ever did was for Wicked of all things and we got there and I was a tourist at that point wearing black suede heel boots. I don't know why, dead of winter. It was early 2000. Shut up. Dead of winter, we got there like an hour before the lottery. They had the drum come out, you put your name in, and they had everybody notate, okay, do you need two tickets or one ticket? And they had 16 tickets or whatever per show at that point. It was very specific.

[48:28] Chris: And we got our name called, but it was for one ticket. They only had one ticket left for whatever reason and so we didn't do that lotto and so we left and we did Chicago. We got tickets right into Chicago and it was great. It's honestly the only time I've seen Chicago and it was a lot of fun, but I loved the vibe of an in-person lottery.

[48:51] Marc: Newsies. Oh my god. Newsies lottery was... I literally have my Newsies card sitting next to me. So much fun. Book of Mormon used to get the buttons. I won the lottery at this. It was so... the vibe was good.

[49:05] Chris: I think the last in-person lottery I went to, probably one of the last ones that were ever hosted, was September 23rd, 2019. It was Little Shop Day and it was Little Shop was in, I think, in previews or first opening week and I went for the in-person lottery. I didn't get it, but because we were there, everyone's talking and everyone's excited. I was with my buddy John Cosby and the producers were there and they were like, hey, you know, we have our house seats if you want to buy the house seats and I did. But like that vibe and that energy, theater lovers together because they know they're about to go see a good show. It wasn't, I'm gonna submit and do a digital lottery and wait and then resell my tickets or I'm gonna enter every lottery and see what I can do. I feel like there's a disconnect now, but that's just me. What do you guys feel?

[50:05] Marc: I remember in-person lottery.

[50:07] Chris: Mm-hmm.

[50:08] Marc: And this was the... it's not a cheat code. It's a tip that I tried out. This was for the first performance of Shrek, first preview of Shrek, and they were having the lottery up in the second floor of the M&M store.

[50:20] Chris: Ah.

[50:21] Marc: Because everything was sponsored back then. And I'm going up and I see another young woman headed up alone. I said, hi, I'm Chris. Are you headed to the Shrek lottery? She said, yeah. I said, are you looking for two tickets or one? She said one. I said, me too. Do you want maybe we can go in together for two? And that way we double our chances of getting in. And hers was the last card pulled, and so we got to go in.

[50:47] Chris: Yep, and we're still friends. We chat on Facebook every once in a while. She's a big Disney fan.

[50:52] Marc: So I love that. Each other when she's down here.

[50:55] Chris: And then that was for the evening. She said, what are you doing for the afternoon? I said, I don't know. I'm trying to find another rush. She said, oh, if we hurry, we can get Young Frankenstein lottery, which was at the McDonald's across the street.

[51:09] Marc: Three-story McDonald's.

[51:11] Chris: There, everybody's filled out their thing. He pulls the first card, reads a name. Yay. And he says, this is stupid. You're all gonna get in. Just go down and buy a ticket.

[51:22] Marc: Yeah, I think those days are gone though. I mean, can you imagine trying to do an in-person lottery for something like Lost Boys?

[51:28] Chris: It would... no, they would shut down 47th Street. It would just be insane.

[51:32] Marc: I think, you know, the Ham for Ham was a great example. It got to be so big.

[51:36] Chris: Yeah, it did.

[51:37] Marc: And I mean, I just... I love the in-person...

[51:40] Chris: Not to cut you off, Marc.

[51:41] Marc: No, no, I was done.

[51:43] Chris: My qualm is I'm down for it, but like, and I know like our members don't do this, but I've seen it happen and we do have Buy Sell Broadway too, so I see it happen a lot is people enter these... people are lucky. They better play the real lottery. They're entering every single show and then they're getting the lottery tickets and they're like, oh, hey, $60 tickets are usually 200 and you come to find out it's a lottery ticket. And it's like a side hustle for them. And that's where my disconnect is because you can't limit... it's different theater companies, it's different shows. You cannot limit it and it's almost like a bot, but it's kind of worse.

[55:30] Heather Bedor: I'm in a theater today, and I feel like at one time, your name was attached to it? Your name is attached to it. And so you couldn't resell it to someone else? If that name didn't match your ID, you couldn't? Yes, but I have not seen a theater check an ID for a ticket in a very long time. Then that's on the theaters.

[55:45] Marc: Yes.

[55:47] Mark: I mean, that's, yeah, it sucks that that happens. I mean, you could also do the same with live lotteries, you could resell the tickets. I mean, you couldn't enter 50 lotteries, obviously, and then sell them to a show.

[55:57] Heather Bedor: But we could sell them to a show.

[55:59] Mark: You could enter 50 lotteries, obviously.

[56:01] Heather Bedor: Of course. I remember we would bounce through, like, the different avenues, be like, all right, well, we didn't get this one. Well, that's it, you know. The live lottery and live rush meant you had to pick where you wanted to be.

[56:11] Marc: Right.

[56:13] Heather Bedor: And commit to that line, and then if you didn't get it, you know. But anything you do, there's going to be someone who's going to rig the system and try to make a buck off of it.

[56:21] Mark: And, yeah, it's really up to the theaters. It's like the autograph hounds.

[56:25] Heather Bedor: Right.

[56:27] Mark: Oh, Mark, go on your tangent. I saw the eye roll and the head roll.

[56:31] Marc: I used a stage door back in the day.

[56:33] Heather Bedor: Yeah.

[56:35] Marc: When, like, 30 people at a stage door was, like, madness.

[56:39] Heather Bedor: Right.

[56:41] Marc: You know, and that was only for, like, if some giant movie star was doing a play.

[56:45] Heather Bedor: Right.

[56:47] Marc: And it was courteous. You know, it would be 5, 10 of us per show.

[56:51] Heather Bedor: Right.

[56:53] Marc: And it's gotten so crazy that when you exit a theater, I mean, I would, you know, if I was in the last row of the orchestra, come right out to the stage door.

[57:03] Heather Bedor: Absolutely.

[57:05] Marc: And it would already be full of people.

[57:07] Heather Bedor: Yes.

[57:09] Marc: None of which saw the show.

[57:11] Heather Bedor: No.

[57:13] Marc: They're all the autograph-seeking. So I used to like it when people in the show would say, I'm only signing playbills or items from the show.

[57:19] Heather Bedor: Correct.

[57:21] Marc: So was it Merrily that did it?

[57:23] Heather Bedor: I'm confident it was Merrily.

[57:25] Marc: I didn't get a chance to see it live.

[57:27] Heather Bedor: I know.

[57:29] Marc: Shame on me. I tried so many times for that Russian lottery. I went on a Wednesday afternoon. They didn't come out.

[57:37] Heather Bedor: But they were checking tickets.

[57:39] Marc: Good. To get into the chorale. Cabaret started to do it, too, when it was Adam Lambert and Ali.

[57:45] Heather Bedor: Like, they were checking your tickets before you could get into the chorale.

[57:47] Marc: And I always call it, like, the reverse stage door. So you have, like, your chorales that you're in. And you're inside of them. And you're only able to go in when you show a ticket saying, I literally just came out of the show.

[57:57] Heather Bedor: And then the stars would be able to walk the sidewalk.

[57:59] Marc: While everyone's, I like those way better than making them feel like they're in a fish tank.

[58:03] Heather Bedor: Yeah.

[58:05] Marc: But, yes. Olivia said, yes, at Merrily, they check tickets. But it's so hard to do that for every show.

[58:13] Heather Bedor: That's a great idea.

[58:15] Marc: Well, yeah. You have to pay someone. I mean, that's a whole other set of business that you've got to have someone in charge of.

[58:21] Heather Bedor: Well, and you've got, like, the professional line holders. The guys that charge, which is a smart business. But there are people that get paid to stand in line for you for Rush.

[58:29] Marc: Okay.

[58:31] Marc: This was not me. I was meeting a friend in New York. And we were going to go Rush Pippin. My flight was late. He said, I'll go down there. You can meet me there. And told everyone that I was going to go Rush Pippin.

[58:45] Heather Bedor: And told everyone, hey, just so you know, my friend is coming from the airport. He'll be joining me. Up front about it from the very end.

[58:53] Marc: And as soon as I showed up, you know people started to bitch.

[58:55] Heather Bedor: Of course.

[58:57] Marc: Can I say that?

[58:59] Heather Bedor: Yes.

[59:01] Marc: Full cursing allowed.

[59:03] Heather Bedor: Oh, fuck yeah.

[59:05] Marc: What is this? Broadway jeopardy?

[59:07] Heather Bedor: I don't know. If I offend Mark, he'll never talk to me again. If it wasn't for getting demonetized on YouTube, there would be a lot more swearing in my head.

[59:17] Marc: No kidding.

[59:19] Heather Bedor: And every time I talk about sad music, I have to limit how many times I say Nazi. You can get flagged on YouTube. Crazy.

[59:27] Marc: That's why we go live.

[59:29] Heather Bedor: It's different. Later, I have an offstage question for you.

[59:33] Marc: Okay.

[59:35] Heather Bedor: Speaking of offstage, it's already been an hour. How did that happen?

[59:39] Marc: Because it's the three of us.

[59:41] Heather Bedor: I know. Here's to us. Who's like us?

[59:45] Marc: Damn you.

[59:47] Heather Bedor: I have a bottle of champagne that was a prop from that production somewhere.

[59:49] Marc: Nice.

[59:51] Heather Bedor: Very nice. I'm still looking forward to Flea.

[59:55] Marc: Holy crap.

[59:57] Heather Bedor: I'm looking forward to it. I used to look forward to it.

[1:00:01] Marc: Shut up.

[1:00:03] Heather Bedor: You know what we're going to do? We're going to have to do a shot, and then we're going to go through Flea.

[1:00:09] Marc: Open containers so you'd have to do it. My hotel will be either right at Flea or right down the road from Flea.

[1:00:15] Heather Bedor: To be determined.

[1:00:17] Marc: Oh, hold on. I'm reading. Let's see. Abigail Johnson.

[1:00:21] Heather Bedor: Abigail says, horrified by the stage door situation at Lost Boys. The amount of people I saw actually getting up, yes, and leaving the theater before the final scene even finished so that that could go get through the barriers was absolutely shocking.

[1:00:35] Marc: That's exactly what we're talking about. Going in the middle of a show because you've seen it 500 times and leaving.

[1:00:41] Heather Bedor: I still think it's disrespectful to the people who are experiencing it for the first time. If I was a performer in that show and I knew that was happening, I would not stage door.

[1:00:53] Marc: Not abstaining for the full applause is like not tipping a server.

[1:00:57] Heather Bedor: I agree. 100%. Then you want my autograph? No. Absolutely not.

[1:01:03] Marc: No.

[1:01:05] Heather Bedor: That would be gross and disgusting. Someone's asking when the Flea is.

[1:01:09] Chris: Chris responded, third week in September. The actual date is September 27th. Fun fact, for those listening and joining us, yes, that was rude.

[1:01:23] Marc: That was so fucking rude, Olivia. I can't see it without saying it.

[1:01:25] Heather Bedor: As of tomorrow, my shopping, my pickup, I do it every year for you guys. My list for the Google Forum will be live. I will take the first 30 people and I'm going to be doing a little bit differently this year.

[1:01:39] Marc: I used to go actively seek all these specialty items.

[1:01:41] Heather Bedor: I'm going for your total budget and I'm going to be putting together a mystery box of the shows that you select off the list. Keep an eye on whatever group you're part of.

[1:01:53] Marc: If you're listening and you want to join a group, you can go to www.thebroadwayfanclub.com. You can see most of our groups listed there. Just click. It's a link tree. You go right to the group on Facebook or you can look up anything that says whatever fan group that's generally us. You'll see it in the description of the group itself.

[1:02:11] Heather Bedor: Next Monday is Labor Day. I think I'm going to give you guys a vacation for that one. You're welcome.

[1:02:21] Marc: The 14th of September we will have to answer any burning desire questions that you might have.

[1:02:29] Heather Bedor: Wonderful folks from Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS will be joining us. Then on September 21st a dear friend of mine who comes from a different world but Chris probably will know this person.

[1:02:41] Marc: The one and only Bora Brewington is going to be joining us.

[1:02:45] Heather Bedor: If Bora sounds familiar to you or does not, look them up on social media. They are the top witch in Salem. Brian will be here to join us and I cannot freaking wait to have him on the show.

[1:03:01] Marc: Jeffrey, I will not be on vacation but I will be at the beach drinking heavily.

[1:03:09] Heather Bedor: I have a video now that I think about it on the history of the flea market.

[1:03:13] Marc: I love it.

[1:03:15] Heather Bedor: I'm going to go look that up. I know the guy who sort of started it.

[1:03:21] Marc: I love that.

[1:03:23] Heather Bedor: We were just talking one night and he worked on a tour I worked on Little House on the Prairie the musical with Melissa Gilbert.

[1:03:35] Marc: That's a story for another day.

[1:03:37] Heather Bedor: Yes, it is. He was one of the stage managers and he was like, oh yeah, I sort of started that flea market.

[1:03:43] Marc: Excuse me?

[1:03:45] Heather Bedor: I need to go sell a kidney or something because I'm planning on shopping this year.

[1:03:51] Marc: I don't have any room for anything.

[1:03:53] Heather Bedor: You'll find it.

[1:03:57] Marc: I'm not going with you on that day because I got an extra day picked up at Disney so I'm literally telling you what I'm going to make that day and that's my budget.

[1:04:07] Heather Bedor: That's fine.

[1:04:09] Marc: I already assumed I'd be shopping on your behalf.

[1:04:11] Heather Bedor: $40 for something from Minnie's Boys.

[1:04:13] Marc: Fuck off.

[1:04:17] Heather Bedor: I'm sorry, was that out loud? Was that not my inside voice?

[1:04:21] Marc: But I will say I need to give another R.I.P. before the end of the show. One of my favorite shows and I don't care if it's not your thing Moulin Rouge had its final bow yesterday and I am very sad thinking about flea.

[1:04:39] Heather Bedor: I know that line's always crazy and I was very fortunate I got one of the cool five year posters so yes, thank you Chris.

[1:04:47] Marc: Yeah.

[1:04:49] Heather Bedor: Wow. I didn't look did they do something special at the final show?

[1:04:55] Marc: They did. They had several Christians and Satines come and sing Come What May.

[1:05:01] Heather Bedor: Nice.

[1:05:03] Marc: It's beautiful. I've shared it on our Broadway Fan Club group end page for people to watch.

[1:05:09] Heather Bedor: Wouldn't it be funny if it was all of them but Aaron Tveit?

[1:05:13] Marc: No, Aaron's performing it.

[1:05:15] Heather Bedor: No, I don't have to be in the last show. But it was really beautiful. They did a couple of curtain speeches but I loved that show so much and I got to see I saw it for the first time in can-can seats and I was whisked away to the VIP lounge to the Rose Lounge and I've been to the real Moulin Rouge. It is not the same.

[1:05:37] Marc: But I will also say making it a complete roundabout here, when I was at the gym earlier I was listening to the cast recording and I was thinking, you know what? It's a good cast recording to go to the gym for.

[1:05:49] Heather Bedor: Oh, that was my jam when that came out. Talk about albums that lived in your CD player.

[1:05:55] Marc: Yeah.

[1:05:57] Heather Bedor: And you just never took it out for a while.

[1:05:59] Marc: Yeah, nope.

[1:06:01] Heather Bedor: I Spotify all the way.

[1:06:03] Marc: Anyways, we've gone over time. I don't want to take up anyone else's time. You guys are the best.

[1:06:07] Heather Bedor: Yes, we'll be on hiatus next week unless you guys want to do something. September 14th we'll be back with Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS.

[1:06:19] Marc: Remember to keep an eye on all of our groups for any updated news, including our giveaway with Act One Frames.

[1:06:25] Heather Bedor: And if you are still looking for that promotion, you can go to actoneframes.com or their social media and go to the promo code TBFC10A1F.

[1:06:37] Marc: Again, my name is Heather. I'm going to chat your face off, but I'm going to go have dinner with my mother because Wolfgang Puck's at Disney Springs is closing in two weeks, I'm going to go have some delicious smoked salmon pizza like a crazy person.

[1:06:51] Marc: I'm so jealous you guys live so... I used to live three minutes from Disneyland growing up, and that's where we'd hang out.

[1:06:57] Heather Bedor: Disney's a whole new animal than it was when I was growing up.

[1:07:01] Marc: It really is.

[1:07:03] Heather Bedor: I do miss the Disney days.

[1:07:05] Marc: Yeah, Chris will still give me shit. I'm like, why are you going to eat so late? Why are you going to Disney?

[1:07:11] Heather Bedor: I mean, it's after my dinner time. I always try to eat before.

[1:07:15] Marc: This ain't mean anything to anyone else, but Pig Floyd is closing too.

[1:07:21] Heather Bedor: I know, I know. All our Orlando people are in mourning with all of our restaurant changes, but...

[1:07:27] Marc: We didn't even talk about Tenderloin, Chris, behind you. My God.

[1:07:31] Heather Bedor: Tenderloin, one of those albums I got. So, I think I've told you this. When all my friends in college would go to Cancun or wherever, I took all the money I had for spring break, drove to the city, went to Footlight Records, and picked out old shows.

[1:07:47] Marc: And Gene, lovely, lovely man, he's passed now, so statute of limitations says I can tell you this, he would go, wait, you live in New Hampshire, huh? Okay, I'm going to write this up as if I shipped it to you, because then there's no sales tax.

[1:08:07] Heather Bedor: Nice.

[1:08:09] Marc: And that was a savings on a $500 pile of albums, which was usually six albums. Tenderloin, La Jolie, you know.

[1:08:17] Heather Bedor: Alright, we're going to stop talking about food, because my stomach is growling.

[1:08:21] Marc: Alright.

[1:08:23] Heather Bedor: But, Ghost Light is always burning here, especially when we've got Broadway by Ghost Light 2. We love you guys. Maybe we'll see you next week. I don't know. Otherwise, I'll be back on the 14th. But these boys might do a boys' club. I'm okay with that, too.

[1:08:37] Marc: We'll see.

[1:08:39] Heather Bedor: We'll have a prop battle.

[1:08:41] Marc: Oh, my God, please do.

[1:08:43] Heather Bedor: I will lose immediately.

[1:08:45] Marc: Alright, everybody.

[1:08:47] Heather Bedor: I have odd collectibles. Keep an eye on the fan groups for the sign-up sheet for Broadway Flee. Make sure you go check out our friends over at Act One Frames. Go see Mark's, well, this week is brand new Broadway Jeopardy, so make sure you check out Broadway by Ghost Light and Broadway Jeopardy. You can look it up on YouTube.

[1:09:03] Marc: And look for the Broadway Flee doc as well. Yes, I'm going to be there. I just said that.

[1:09:07] Heather Bedor: I love you so much. Just another reminder. Reiterate it, please, because we're only taking 30 people and we've got 9 million.

[1:09:17] Marc: Have a good night, everybody.
